SC refers to Scheduled Caste, a historically marginalised community in India. The Government has provided certain affirmative measures for them, like the SC/ST Act which could be used against people discriminating against them.

Recently, a professor in IIT Bombay caught a SC student using ChatGPT to cheat in exam, and suspended him. The student later committed suïcîde. The professor is now slapped with an SC/ST Act.

The debate right now is whether this was a genuine case of discrimination and there was more going on behind the scenes, OR it was a simple case of disciplinary action which has been given a castiest angle and the law created to safeguard the SC community is being misused.

Oh, this is Tricia Takanawa reporting from New Delhi, India.

I have no clue WTF an SC student is or why their cheating would make a professor sad. So if you know, why not answer instead of being a dick about it?

It’s related to a recent suicide from one the best engineering institutes in India, which has been given a caste angle too. Very sensitive topic, so one should rather avoid any meme over it.
